“Ollie's 99 is the first restaurant that I'm aware of in Connecticut that serves dim sum and pizza! The Chef's Special sesame chicken caught our eye right away, and it was very tasty! With pizza and dumplings being some of our favorite foods, this spot was a win for us! The kale salad was very fresh, and the kung pao chicken roll was perfect for us to split with our lunch. We had a nice sunny seat by the window, and the restaurant had a relaxing vibe. The food arrived quickly, and our server was attentive. Definitely a unique spot in Greenwich that sets itself apart from the other Asian restaurants in town!“
“I’ve been to Hinoki in Greenwich now on three separate occasions - each time a great meal. Last night was no exception. We walked in on Sunday night with no reservation and while they were busy, they had no trouble seating us right away. It’s a nice dimly lit ambiance with a cedar smell throughout.We started off with miso soup and wanted to try something different so we went with the Asian Pear Salmon. While the miso soup was great, the Asian Pear Salmon had an overpowering onion flavor and was a bit disappointing, but the salmon was nice and fresh.Next we had a couple of the Nori tacos - Wagyu Salt and Toro. These were both excellent and I would recommend getting them.Next up we had 5 pieces of nigiri each. Tuna, Uni, some other pieces. They were all great, but I would say I’ve had better. The rice was inconsistent. The last piece that came out separately was perfect, and the rice was nice and warm. The others didn’t seem to match the same quality for some reason, but were still 8/10. Also I would not I’m not a fan of gold leaf on food in general, but especially in sushi. But I credit them for the effort.We were still hungry, so instead of dessert we opted for the soup dumplings which were great.For drinks, I had a wonderful glass of red burgundy from Beaune, and my wife had a mezcal cocktail she was still raving about the next day.Overall, this is a nice romantic restaurant for date night, or to take a group out for an impressive sushi dinner. It’s more casual than a limited seat Omakase experience, so set your expectations. You’ll be in for great food and ambiance, with pretty good service, but not out of this world.“
“I love this place. The variety of vegetarian entrees is unmatched for a Chinese restaurant. And the variety is "true variety", not just permutations is General Tso's tofu. Flavors are good, and vegetables are always cooked well and always crisp.Just try it! Get the salt and pepper style, very pleasant.“
“FROZEN FISH!! Do NOT recommend! We have been going here for years and loved it. Tonight we took friends who had never been. The food took forever to come(over 15 minutes). When it did, the snow pea leaves were only warm and the duck with mushrooms was dry (in spite of being served lukewarm on a layer of fat). My deep fried whole fish took another 10 minutes and when it arrived it WAS FROZEN under the “crispy skin”. THEY USE FROZEN FISH!?!? I suppose the fish in the tank are for show!! (And it was whisked away with little or no apologizes). After all these years! We were very disappointed and embarrassed.“
